14 Sunday Strollers enjoyed an easy walk around the lake in Southport.
The weather for this time of the year was great and from all accounts everyone enjoyed the fish and chips at the end of the walk. The next walk will be from Moreton to New Brighton – a flat 5 miles which can be extended to 7 miles by carrying on to the ferry station at Seacombe if you wish. Otherwise you can catch the train or bus back to Liverpool. We will be getting the 10 o clock train from Maghull and will be in Moreton just before 11 to start our walk. There are plenty of eating places in New Brighton so you can take your pick. If you want more details come to Group Support desk on a Tuesday morning or ring 531 0207 and speak to John

The foodie group met again today for our usual taster session. Following on from starters last month we sampled main courses today. A delicious red Leicester cheese flan, a very tasty Chilli con carne made to a Delia Smith recipe using chuck steak rather than mince, and a rather exotic dish of paella topped off with mussels. Thanks to the members who treated us today. Next month is a foray into desserts so we’ll have spoons at the ready. The group is proving to be extremely successful with the numbers now reaching 27. We have had new members join us at both meetings of 2018. We still have ( a little ) room for more people. Pasta, pies and salads on the menus for further meetings so if you fancy getting involved, chat to me at a coffee morning or come along to St James church hall, Green Lane, 10:30 on the third Thursday of the month.
